Will Obama, Hillary, or McCain ever be as funny as Bush?

Say what you will about George Dubya Bush. He certainly wasn’t America’s most popular President. He certainly wasn’t America’s smartest President. He definitely wasn’t America’s best President.

But as his 8 years in office draw to a close, I’m left with a bittersweet feeling.

There’s just no way that today’s candidates for office will ever match Bush on the hilarity scale. We’ll just have to accept that the glory days for late-night television like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report will soon be over. Whether you were laughing with him, or laughing at him, no President will ever provide as much fodder as Bush.

Here’s Bush congratulating graduates from the Air Force Academy today. Words do not describe.
